Bleached Acrylic Poplin Variant from China
This is a bleached poplin weave fabric made from acrylic staple fibres, an artificial textile material. It is classified under this tariff item because it contains 85% or more by weight of artificial staple fibres and is bleached. The poplin weave is characterized by a plain weave with a higher thread count in the warp than the weft, giving it a distinctive ribbed texture.

Import Tips
• Confirm the acrylic staple fibre content is at least 85% by weight and that the fabric is indeed bleached, not merely treated with a fugitive dye
• Be prepared to provide a technical specification sheet detailing the weave construction and yarn counts to support classification
• Note that if the fabric is considered 'made up' (e.g
• cut to shape or hemmed), it may fall outside this chapter
